Colourful Autumn of Eikando Temple @ Kyoto, Japan

Eikando is very famous for its autumn colors and the evening illuminations that take place in fall. Located just north of the large temple complex of Nanzenji.

Entering Eikando temple compound.
Beautiful sight of pond in Eikando compound.
very colourful autumn sight.
Surrounded by large trees.
I stopped here as need to pay to go inside. If I not mistaken have to pay 1000 Yen to view the autumn foliage inside the Eikando compound.
